Mniska - The Guy Behind Your Home's Afterglow
Afterglow was built on a simple instinct: we do the job right, and the comfort stays long after you leave. That's been the approach for 20+ years, and it's the reason we started this company.
From Apprentice to Radiant Heating Specialist
Mniska grew up in a culture rooted in curiosity, always wanting to understand how things work and how to fix them. From an early age, his father introduced him to tools, hard work, and problem-solving, whether it was disassembling discarded electronics or helping out on the family ranch. Craftsmanship runs deep in his lineage, and he proudly continues that legacy today.
As a teenager, Mniska began his journey as a plumbing apprentice, setting the foundation for over 20+ years of hands-on experience. He went on to specialize in hydronic heating, developing a deep expertise in high-efficiency systems and thoughtful, precision-driven work.
This path has not only shaped his career but also given him the opportunity to build a life centered around family. Today, he shares that same spirit of curiosity with his two sons, passing on the values of craftsmanship, integrity, and a lifelong fascination with how the world works.
Comfort Built with Care, Not Shortcuts
Afterglow exists because we believe heating and plumbing should be done differently. Not faster. Not cheaper. Better, in a way that lasts and that you can feel.
Explain First, Then Fix
We explain how your system works and what it needs before touching a wrench. You make the decision that feels best and we'll make it happen.
Hydronic Specialist
Over 20+ years focused on hydronic heating systems, boilers, and precision plumbing. That focus means deeper knowledge and long-lasting glow.
Afterglow Finish
Once the job is complete, we do a final walkthrough to ensure everything works right and feels right. That’s how we make sure your home meets the Glow Standard.
The Warmth Behind the Work
20+ years of hands-on experience, proper licensing, and a commitment to doing things the right way. These aren't numbers on a page, they're the foundation of every Afterglow job.
What Our Neighbors Are Saying
After hearing an increasingly loud hissing sound in my kitchen wall, I gave Afterglow a call, worried it was a gas leak. Mniska was prompt, professional and focused. He also took time to explain what steps he was taking to hone in on the problem. He was able to fix the leaky hot water pipe in my wall skillfully and smoothly.
All plumbing experiences should be this pleasant and easy. Mniska gave me a clear, accurate estimate for all work, including the installation of an automatic gas shut-off valve on my house gas line, which shuts off in case of earthquake, along with a tutorial on how to use and/or reset it. He also performed a major seasonal flush of my on-demand water heater, as well as several minor deferred maintenance faucet-related fixes. Thanks!
Professional, knowledgeable and punctual. Pleasure working with Mniska and Afterglow Heating
Mniska is a pleasure to work with- he is professional, knowledgeable, respectful, honest and caring. He helped me think through a plumbing issue with my shower and ways to save money with the repairs. He cares about providing quality work and approaches his clients with kindness and patience. I highly recommend!
I used Afterglow services to help me fix a hydronic issue that another contractor messed up. He was super informative and knew exactly the issue and remedy. Had my system working for a tenant who said they experienced intermittent heating. Honest and trustworthy work. Would definitely use again.
Professional and great to work with. Highly recommended!
